U+5DEF "巯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the chemical element sulfur, often used in modern Chinese specifically for the organic chemistry term "mercapto" or "sulfhydryl" group (as in "巯基"), deriving from the radical for "stone" or "rock" combined with phonetic components, and it appears in technical and scientific contexts rather than everyday language.
